Business Muhurat in December
timed for New DelhiThere are 9 shubh days for starting a business in December 2026: 3, 4, 5, 12, 19, 20, 26, 30 and 31 December. The strongest is Friday, 4 December 2026, at 91%. 5 of them fall in Kharmas (when the Sun is in Dhanu or Meen), which many North Indian families wait out. 6 more days have a muhurat that falls only at night or falls under Bhadra (Vishti karana, the half-tithi kept clear of new work), and are not counted.
Every day listed already meets the rules below. The % only ranks them against each other: it weighs the day’s tithi, nakshatra, weekday, yoga and karana for this work, and 80% and up is the strongest.

What the muhurat is for
and how the day is keptThe muhurat is for the opening itself: the shutter raised, the lamp lit and the first sale, the bohni, made inside the window. Many shopkeepers hold a Ganesh and Lakshmi puja first, draw a swastik and write shubh-labh at the door, and open the account book (bahi-khata) in the same hour. A firm’s registration or its first invoice can be timed the same way.

Business Muhurat, month by month

shubh days for eachWhat the panchang asks for
Shop opening- Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati
- Shukla: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Purnima
- Krishna: Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi
- Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada), the swift ones (Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta) and the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati). It leaves out the rikta (“empty”) tithis, Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi, which are kept clear of beginnings, and Amavasya, the dark night. Its table also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Tuesday is Mangal’s day, and Mangal is a krura (harsh) graha: that day is left out.
All the rules for starting a business: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour
